🏢 About the local organisation
The Tourist Association “Ruski Krstur” was founded in 2013 in order to promote the touristic potential of the village. Seven associations joined their work and activities in order to represent, enable and create the touristic profile of the village Ruski Krstur.
💼 What the programme involves
Volunteers will create a more comfortable and enjoyable space for elementary school students in village Ruski Krstur. We want to paint murals on the schoolyard’s fences. Also we will be working on setting up the flower garden in the school park and backyard and thus making it more appealing for the students to spent their time there. The volunteers will also help painting school benches and the entrance gate. Some old students will join as well.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The volunteers will be accommodated in a sports hall in the centre of Ruski Krstur. Sleeping is on the mattresses, so you need to bring your sleeping bags. There are two bathrooms available. Volunteers will prepare their own meals from the ingredients provided by the organizer.
